Shugendō
has been an object of fascination among scholars and the general public, yet its historical development remains an enigma. This book offers a provocative reexamination of the social, economic, and spiritual terrain from which this mountain religious system arose. Caleb Carter traces Shugendō
through the mountains of Togakushi (Nagano Prefecture), while situating it within the religious landscape of medieval and early modern Japan. His is the first major study to view Shugendō
as a self-conscious religious system--something that was historically emergent but conceptually distinct from the prevailing Buddhist orders of medieval Japan. Beyond Shugendō
, his work rethinks a range of issues in the history of Japanese religions, including exclusionary policies toward women, the formation of Shintō
, and religion at the social and geographical margins of the Japanese archipelago.
